Chapter 583: Heart of Chernobyl
"It was ...... who won Best Supporting Actress"
On stage, Chris Cooper, the winner of the last Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, opened the envelope, looked down, and read the answer directly: "Scarlett Johansson, "Lost in Translation". ”
Hearing her name, Scarlett Johansson covered her mouth with her hands, an expression of disbelief, followed by excitement, and tears seemed to be flashing in her eyes.
Applause rang out, and Scarlett Johansson covered her towering chest with one hand and covered her mouth with the other, very excited.
Of course, the excitement is real, and for Scarlett Johansson, who is only twenty years old, an Oscar recognition for acting means a lot.
Not to mention anything else, the actress is in debt, and in order to maintain the glamorous life of the star, she almost mortgages herself to the bank, and after getting the Oscar, her salary can rise a lot, and she will get rid of the debt burden and embark on the road of white and rich.
Similarly, as an actor, I was originally very excited, but naturally I would show that I was twenty points.
It is also an attitude, an attitude of respect for authority.
Otherwise, the first thing that each winner would like to thank is the Academy and the judges.
Scarlett Johansson hugged everyone in the crew, including Ronan, and then walked onto the stage, took the little golden figure handed by Chris Cooper, and stood in front of the microphone.
"Thank you to the college for this recognition. Scarlett Johansson's gaze shifted to where the crew of "Lost in Translation" was located: "Thank you Sophia and Ronan, I couldn't have stood here without you, and thank you to everyone in the crew for ......"
There was nothing surprising about Scarlett Johansson's acceptance speech, but it was said very fluently, and no one knows if she practiced specifically before she went on stage.
There are many people's eyes on Ronan's side, Hollywood gossip is flying all over the sky, why Scarlett Johansson can stand on the Oscar stage, it is not difficult for these people to guess the reason.
Some people are still thinking, after Harvey Weinstein, another Hollywood bigwig is going to be fully involved in this Oscar game?
Oscar films are also lucrative, and the competition is fiercer, because the only films that attract attention are often the ones that have been nominated for a heavyweight.
It's good to have a good eye for film selection if you have money and power......
These people thought that the competition for the Oscars in the next few years is expected to be even more intense.
Ronan sat quietly in his seat, continued to watch the awards ceremony, and after winning the Best Original Screenplay and Best Supporting Actress, the Oscar journey of "Lost in Translation" ended early, and the subsequent awards were completely missed by this film, as expected by the media, the awards were divided among several favorites.
The Pixar studio co-opters took home the best animated feature film for "Finding Nemo."
Charlize Theron impressed countless judges with her way of creating a new realm of ugliness, and won the Best Actress Golden Man without any suspense.
Sean Penn prodigal son turned back and won Best Actor for "Mystic River."
But there is only one real winner tonight - "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King".
The film not only won the Best Picture statuette, but also made New Zealand director Peter Jackson the Best Director category.
There is no film with a non-realistic theme that can win the Oscars like "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King".
This is the pinnacle of the fantasy genre, and although there have been countless similar works with a much higher investment than the Lord of the Rings series, none of them have reached the heights of the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
Even, fantasy and epic movies will become a veritable investment black hole in Hollywood in the next ten years, and medium-scale film projects are almost nine out of ten chances.
This may also be in line with the movie law that the peak is followed by the trough.
After the awards ceremony, Ronan walked out of the side door of the Kodak Theater and got into his Rolls-Royce Phantom, and Connie in the car said, "Ms. Tina Brown just called and invited you to the Oscar night party. ”
The official invitation had already been delivered to Ronan, and Ronan said directly: "Let's go and go around the party." ”
Relativity Entertainment has a good relationship with Vanity Fair, and Tina Brown also gave him face on the Tom Cruise incident.
Dealing with this kind of thing naturally has to come and go.
After waiting for two minutes, Scarlett Johansson, who was wearing a big red dress, got into the car, put down the best actress in her hand, hugged Ronan and kissed her hard.
"Thank you!" Scarlett Johansson ignored Connie and the driver in front of her, and said in a loud voice, "Ronan, I don't know how to thank you! I'm so happy......"
Winning an Oscar for acting at the age of twenty, even if it is Best Supporting Actress, is enough glory.
Scarlett Johansson was born as a child star, and despite her bad reputation in Hollywood, she is very smart and knows why she won this Best Supporting Actress.
Character and acting? That's just the basics, and when it comes to both, she's probably the weakest of all the nominees for Best Supporting Actress.
There are also key qualifications, which are also the worst.
It's just that she, a young person, counterattacked a group of middle-aged and elderly actresses at the famous middle-aged and elderly consolation prize......
Why?
In fact, there is only one reason, the Hollywood boss next to her, the boss of a famous entertainment group company, has invested a lot of resources to do a lot of public relations for her far more than other candidates.
Everything you give, you get what you get.
Coming to the Oscar night party, Scarlett Johansson took the statuette to take pictures with the other guests, and Ronan found Tina Brown, the editor-in-chief of Vanity Fair.
"Good evening, Ronan. Tina Brown was enthusiastic: "It's a great honor to have you here. ”
Ronan shook hands with her: "We are old friends, don't be so polite." ”
The two exchanged a few casual pleasantries, and Tina Brown suddenly said, "I heard that William is coming to Los Angeles?"
Ronan didn't deny it, but said vaguely: "It seems to be." ”
Originally, Willian planned to come to Los Angeles in January and February as a private person, but due to the delay of taking office as FA president ahead of schedule, he planned to come at the end of March.
Tina Brown didn't give up and asked, "I heard that you have a good personal relationship with William. ”
Ronan shrugged slightly: "It's just that I can say a few words, and I don't have too deep friendship." He suddenly said tentatively, "Tina, you're very well-informed." ”
Tina Brown laughed and said, "Don't forget, I'm good friends with William's mother. ”
Ronan then remembered that just as he sent Robert Ludlun's dead money, Tina Brown was the most successful woman in the world to make Diana's dead money.
"William is here, can you help me ask him to meet. "Tina Brown said the real purpose.
"I don't necessarily get to see William either. Ronan seemed to be telling the truth: "If I can see him, I will convey it, but how he decides, it's not that I can intervene." ”
Tina Brown said: "I understand. She smiled again and said, "Thank you, Ronan. ”
"We are friends. Ronan did not despise others because of the rise in company and status, and was consistently humble: "It is right to help each other. ”
Tina Brown took two glasses of wine and handed it to Ronan, and the two laughed and toasted together.
After a few more small talks, Ronan went to other places, found Charlize Theron and Sean Penn, and congratulated the Oscar-winning actress, who later had a relationship and even got engaged for a while.
Ronan is not familiar with Sean Penn, and he also knows Charlize Theron, and after chatting a few words, he took the initiative to quit, and just wanted to go to Peter Jackson, the big fat man in New Zealand, to ask about Weta Studios, when a short woman with long blond brown hair came over.
"Hello, Mr. Anderson. The blonde brown-haired woman took the initiative to introduce herself: "I am Marianne del Rio, a director and producer"
Ronan remembered this woman, because the other party had appeared on the Oscar stage tonight, and nodded slightly: "Hello, Ms. Del Rio, congratulations on winning the best documentary short film." ”
Marianne Del Rio hurriedly said, "Thank you. She looked straight: "Mr. Anderson, I heard that the distribution company of Embassy Pictures is your property, I wonder if you are interested in the short documentary "Heart of Chernobyl"?"
Ronan hadn't seen the documentary and asked, "Is it a film documenting the Chernobyl nuclear disaster?"
Marianne Del Rio said: "Yes, that disaster was too horrific to be forgotten. ”
Ronan nodded slightly, the Chernobyl incident is so famous that it is not an exaggeration to say that everyone knows about it, and there are endless movies and documentaries about this incident, especially those made by Westerners.
On the contrary, he was more curious about the release of the film: "The distribution rights of the film are still in your hands?"
"Yes. Marianne Del Rio simply explained: "Documentaries have always been unpopular, and because I couldn't find a distributor, I had to rent three screens in Los Angeles to get an Oscar ticket......
Ronan hadn't seen the film and didn't have the right to speak, so he directly called Connie over and asked her to leave Marianne Del Río the contact information of the film viewing staff of the embassy film, and said: "You can make this call, I will notify the relevant personnel to receive you." ”
Marianne Del Rio hurriedly said, "Thank you. She glanced at Ronan and said tentatively, "Mr. Anderson, I actually have some other thoughts about Chernobyl. ”
Ronan has always been very patient with screenwriters and directors who have projects, because his memory is not omnipotent, and immediately said: "Ms. Del Rio, please speak." ”
Marianne Del Rio knows that opportunities are rare, and there are many rumors about Ronan in Hollywood, the most famous of which is his excellent vision and willingness to give new directors and producers a chance.
In fact, Marianne Del Rio was a prepared action to find Ronan, because there were many precedents there, and she felt that it was easier to get a chance in the face of Ronan.
"The Chernobyl incident has taught profound lessons and has attracted wide attention from all over the world. Marianne Del Rio is cautious: "When I was making a documentary, I looked up a lot of material and planned to shoot a TV series. ”
